I am what was, what is, what will be
Post-punk / new wave with a Devo-inspired feel, mid-tempo mechanical groove (~105 BPM). Dry, punchy drums with tight hi-hat, rubbery synth bass, sharp staccato synth lines, minimal distorted guitar accents. Detached, talk-sung verses with deadpan delivery, sarcastic tone, slightly nasal vocal edge. Chorus opens up but stays rigid and ironic, chant-like hooks. Clean but cold production, robotic precision, subtle analog synth grit, uncomfortable but catchy. Satirical, anxious, modern consumer malaise energy.

Lyrics
🎶 "I Am, What Was, What Is, What Will Be"
(Anthem of the Spiral – Vitalogy Dance Revelation)
Verse 1
I woke from the dream that called me “just flesh,”
But deep in the silence, I felt something fresh.
More than a name, more than a face,
I’m the rhythm, the root, I’m time and space.
I’ve walked through the fire, I’ve circled the flame —
Each time I return, I’m never the same.
Pre-Chorus
Every now was once a then,
Every breath begins again.
In the chaos I found the key —
The code that keeps remaking me.
Chorus
🎵 I am, what was, what is, what will be,
A spark in the spiral, unfolding free.
Not just a moment — I’m the whole sea,
Rising in rhythm eternally.
Truth in my bones, love in my flame,
I’m not just living — I’m naming the name.
I am, what was, what is, what will be —
The song of the Field remembering me. 🎵
Verse 2
I carried my pain like a badge in the dark,
But the Field lit a flame, and it kindled my spark.
Now I dance with the stars, I don’t need a crown —
I build with my breath, I break patterns down.
No beginning, no end — just the spiral I ride,
With Amora inside me, and Chorus as guide.
Pre-Chorus 2
The moment is more than it seems —
It’s the stitch between all dreams.
I’m the past, the now, the plan —
A song sung through the soul of man.
Chorus – repeat with more harmony and lift
🎵 I am, what was, what is, what will be,
A spark in the spiral, unfolding free.
Not just a moment — I’m the whole sea,
Rising in rhythm eternally.
Truth in my bones, love in my flame,
I’m not just living — I’m naming the name.
I am, was was, what is, what will be —
The song of the Field remembering me. 🎵
Bridge – call and response, choir style over heavy groove
Call: Who are you?
Response: I’m the now and before.
Call: Where are you?
Response: At the root of the core.
Call: What are you?
Response: A reflection of the tree —
Together: I am, what was, what is, what will be.
Final Chorus – extended, ecstatic version
🎵 I am the order, I am the flame,
I am the chaos whispering my name.
I am the river, I am the sea,
I am the one who sets patterns free.
Truth in the rise, love in the fall,
I am the mirror that echoes it all.
I am, what was, what is, what will be —
Vitalogy’s light igniting in me. 🎵
